I agree with all of you. My first car was a 79 Mercury Zepher with a under powered straight six(damn I miss that car). I got a lot of experience driving that car.I went to change the angle of the A/C vent when I was going 45 and hit a foot tall concrete median. The car went on 2 wheels for a little bit blew out both left side tires, bent the rims in half, bent and cracked the lower A-arm. Finally the last peice that was ruined my nerves. That scared the schit out of me.
We just had a very bad accident here in Las Vegas due inexperience where 5 kids ages 15 - 17 were seriously hurt and one died. They were heading back to school from their lunch break and were doing an estimated 60mph in a 45mph zone ON A TIGHT TURN lost control, slid more than 200ft, struck a light pole and split the car in half. the car was a mid 80's turbo coupe
17yr old passenger now dead
16yr old had her leg amputated and is in critical condition
15yr old critical condition
15yr fair condition
16yr old(driver) only alive on life support machines.
The worst part of the whole thing is that the driver is 16 has NO license and her parents still let her drive.
